Mustaches must run in my family, because my kid sister is sprouting some whiskers too. She just opened up her shop on Etsy, Wee Hilarity, selling mustache pacifiers for wee ones. Know any babies in desperate need of a ‘stache?

Visit the Wee Hilarity shop to support the ‘stacheless babies you know.

Earlier in the year (February 2012 to be exact), I had a little exchange going on with my Facebook fans. For each mustachioed postcard I received, I would send a miniature mustache in return. I encouraged creativity, and that’s exactly what I got! A couple dozen postcards arrived that month, and I now have them all decorating the walls of my studio. Below are my personal favorites, though every one received brought a big smile to my face.

Which ones do you like most? If I can get a bunch of comments on here, then perhaps I’ll consider starting the Postcard Project up again!

With a mustache in your pocket, you’ll never face the embarrassment of being underdressed! That’s the new tagline to go with the revised look of Whisker Works and Handmade Hilarity. Printable banners and poems have been updated with this circus-inspired whimsy, all available in the Whisker Works shop on Etsy.

Thank you to all of you who entered the giveaway! I’m really quite honored to have 4,000 Facebook fans. Whisker Works started just 2.5 years ago, and I never expected it would become as big as it has. I’m delighted every time I get to tell someone new that I design mustaches for a living!

I enjoyed reading all of the comments that were shared on the giveaway post, which you can read here. My favorites are below:

Did you know that IN ALABAMA it is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church?

I love unicorns. That will be all.

I’ve gotten more comments on the potato with a mustache postcard I did, than on any of my personal pictures combined! I guess I just need to do my personal pics with a mustachioed potato!

Favorite mustachioed celebrity? Mr. Redlegs of course!
